The United States and China are negotiating reciprocal tariff reductions of approximately $30 billion, targeting non-sensitive goods across agricultural, energy, and manufacturing sectors. These discussions are preparing for a meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi scheduled for September 24, 2026, in Washington.

A successful outcome from the September summit could serve as a leading indicator for whether the two countries will renew the broader trade truce.
